Integrations & Ecosystem

Bring agent-led exploration into today's testing workflow

SmartBear BearQ™ connects a layer of autonomous exploration and adaptive validation to your existing flows and pipelines, helping teams expand coverage without disrupting how they ship.

The challenge

Agentic testing that works where you work.

Teams live in existing toolsDevelopment teams already live in CI/CD pipelines, version control, project tracking, and AI agent platforms. BearQ connects agentic QA to those workflows, bringing exploration, validation, and QA insight into the systems teams already use to build, test, and ship.QA in multi-agent workflowsAs AI agent ecosystems grow, BearQ helps QA participate as a connected part of multi-agent development workflows.

Integrations and ecosystem

HOW BEARQ WORKS

BearQ connects to your pipeline and your ecosystem.

BearQ integrates with CI/CD pipelines, GitHub workflows, and ecosystems such as Atlassian and ADO so testing happens in step with development without manual initiation.

Pipeline-triggered execution Deployment event integration Results surfaced in pipeline output
MCP ecosystem support
BearQ supports Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling participation in multi-agent AI workflows and connecting autonomous testing with broader AI-powered development processes. This works in either direction – invoking BearQ via the SmartBear MCP Server or invoking other systems via its MCP servers.

SmartBear & Atlassian
As part of the SmartBear Application Integrity Core™, BearQ connects with a broader ecosystem of software quality tools. Atlassian alignment means BearQ fits naturally into Jira-based development workflows.

IN PRACTICE

What BearQ as part of a CI/CD-integrated team looks like

  1. A developer merges a pull request that updates the application's checkout workflow.
  2. The merge triggers BearQ automatically via the CI/CD pipeline integration.
  3. BearQ re-explores the checkout workflow, validates the updated behavior, and compares results against its prior baseline.
  4. A defect is detected in the payment confirmation step. BearQ surfaces it with full context before the build progresses.
  5. The team resolves the issue before it reaches staging. No manual test initiation or separate QA cycle required.
